1950 AEC Regent III

I took this photograph at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.

It's a 1950 AEC Regent III, a former Morecambe and Heysham Corporation bus, and the programme of the event said this about the vehicle:

 

AEC Regent III, park Royal H56R, 1950                                                          LTF254

Morecambe and Heysham Corporation 69

Entered by M. Knott of the Mersey and Calder Bus Preservation Group.

The last closed top survivor of Morecambe’s preselector Regent III’s. Restored to the 1950 Livery featuring the chrome rear bumper.
